  2. Mohammed's truth lay in a holy Book, Christ's in a sacred Life.
  3. A poet's Mistress is a hallowed thing.
  4. Heaven was not Heaven if Phaon was not there.
  5. Oh glory, that we wrestle So valiantly with Time!
  6. The hills of manhood wear a noble face When seen from far; The mist of light from which they take their grace Hides what they are.
  7. The beating of my own heart Was all the sound I heard.
  8. I wandered by the brookside, I wandered by the mill; I could not hear the brook flow, The noisy wheel was still.
